A couple of weeks ago I activated the AdSense app from this blogging service.
It was kind of fun seeing what would pop up. Personally I enjoyed seeing things from Mormons and Scientologists & figured most of my readers if they actually were going to click on these advertisements were more into it for the irony, or knowing it would send a few cents my way.
Thank you.
It looks like I’ve now made about forty-nine bucks! That’s dinner for two at our local taqueria complete with a margarita for Jan.
I began to have visions of a second (or is it third?) career…
But also political ads began to appear. Some much less easy for me to take as humorous or ironic…
However the robot decides where to send ads the fact I make political comments seem to open that area for their ads.
And some represented views I find rather far from my own. Several even offensive to my admittedly fairly jaded sensibilities…
I began to hesitate…
And then there was an advertisement to defund Planned Parenthood.
I don’t want Planned Parenthood defunded. They’re doing really important work.
I’m not very good about computers (I often brag I’m living proof any idiot can blog) and maybe there’s a way to screen these things. But until I figure out how, I’ve suspended advertising on this blog.
More as the world turns…
